Foamular Extruded Polystyrene Insulation Chosen By Abroboard For Model Yacht Building. - The Latest in Polystyrene making are the same properties that make it ideal for insulation Foamular is a closed cell extruded polystyrene board this means it does not absorb moisture and still holds its shape even when wet Foamular also has high compressive strength so it isn t misshapen by the odd bump or scrape hence your boat will look great for longer foam board carvingCreating model boats is surprisingly complex with every model being created from a sheet of Foamular that is computer cut to create precision shaping down to the nearest mm Foamular is uses because it s very easy to work with but maintains its ridged shape and lightweight properties long after completion Abroboard coats the Foamular blanks with high impact resistant fibre cloth much like carbon fibre but much more cost effective Many new yachts cost 4000 but Abroboard s technological and material advances have helped dramatically reduce the price of a new boat helping many newcomers into the sport One problem with creating unique shapes with Foamular is the potential waste created form off cuts Abroboard helps to minimise this by keeping an eye out for innovative recycling systems Abroboard regularly donates off cuts to other model makers or

Foamular Extruded Polystyrene Used To Create Model Railways - The Latest in Polystyrene polystyrene Its closed cell structure means it can be cut and shaped with traditional woodwork tools to create realistic mountain ranges lakes boulders buildings and roads The list is endless model making foam boarkThe lightweight nature of Foamular makes it ideal for people who may need to move their models this makes it useful for children people with limited space and professionals who need to move their models often The closed cell rigid structure also means that with time Foamular wont crack warp or degrade Once your model is created it will be displayable for a long time with minimal maintenance Foamular s natural colour is a dull yellow and can easily be painted using acrylic paints after a light sanding giving an almost unlimited colour pallet Paint can be applied through a brush roller or spray gun to make the perfect texture and finish Many Model Railroad builders have successfully used Foamular as a baseboard for their creations Mike Nagle Austech s Product Manager for Foamular has said We get calls almost every week from avid railway creators who have seen other models with Foamular and want to recreate the realistic terrain Sheets of Foamular can be glued together

Concrete Sandwich Panels and Foamular - The Latest in Polystyrene to bridge the gap providing superior thermal properties and increasing the overall thermal value all while maintaining construction efficiencies This is the best way to get the most out of your project and the ideal solution to improve the performance of the walls as well as meeting the BCA part J construction requirements insulation panels for concreteThe extruded polystyrene insulation is sandwiched between two concrete layers held together by non conductive connector ties which minimize the energy draining effects of thermal bridging Buildings with increased performing thermal mass will not require artificial heating and cooling due to a more consistent temperature inside A comfortable internal environment is created through the regulated temperature which is passively created through the superior thermal mass Many buildings in Australia are insulated from the inside not being equipped to take advantage of thermal mass therefore artificial temperature control e g air conditioning exert higher energy levels than it potentially would have to as a result of having to work harder against the conditions After separating the individual pieces and make up of a standard concrete wall panel system it becomes evident that Foamular significantly contributes to the overall insulation values Just 50mm of Foamular has
